For your 1989 VW Vanagon, the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Fixed Arms # 1208-1 is a confirmed fit. I believe the Synco 16 has the same frame and bumper so that shouldn't be an issue but the skid plate location isn't clear from anything I can find online so that may need to be removed or adapted for fit.
